About Us

We are the soul of a newspaper. Not just any newspaper. We are the soul of the Toronto Sun from back in the day when it was the tabloid everyone in Toronto talked about. We are the people who helped make it happen. Sadly, most of us are long gone from the Sun. Many are now deceased. But when we were all a part of the Sun, as it was, it was a vibrant, kick ass paper that captured the impossible dream.

Max Haines has been a stranger to the Toronto Sun since his retirement in 2006, so what a treat it was to pick up the Sunday Sun yesterday to find a cold case story by Mr. Crime Flashback himself.

The two-page story was right up Max's alley - the unsolved 1981 Toronto sex slaying of British nanny Christine Prince, whose naked body was found floating in the Rouge River near the Sewells Rd. bridge.

It hasn't been easy for Max Haines fans to break a 34-year addiction to his Sun columns, so yesterday's public appeal for new leads in the 30-year-old case has given them hope there will be more from Max.

Max could easily work his way across Ontario for weekly Sunday Sun crime flashback reports in hopes of readers cracking some cold cases along the way.

Years ago, when the Toronto Sun published annual reader surveys, Max's Crime Flashback was always above 80% readership, so his retirement in 2006 left a big hole in the Sunday Sun.

Just finished reading Spitting champion of hte World, memories of Antigonish.....I must admit , I was a bit reluctant about reading it, as I've always enjoyed his muder mysteries books so much, but let me tell you, I have never laugh so hard! What a great book, Max never dissapoints!
